For a year my school was at the top of the biggest hill in town. (Small town, but in the mountains, so big hill). And there's a picture of me in the paper when I was walking to school in the blizzard that was happening at the time... I was like 5... The only kid who walked that day, and it was ALL uphill.
I outran the dinos, tho. Too bad too... I coulda grabbed one to ride.

Thanks! I've had a great trip, weekend, and birthday.
The weekend is winding down. Most of us are gone, and the few that are left are just hanging together at the hotel after a wonderful afternoon and evening at JP's house.
At 4 o'clock, the 17 remaining went over to JP and Erika's for dinner. Galya, Erika, and I made a bunch of great food, while other played music, built toys with Legos, jumped on the trampoline, taught a little pitching to JP's oldest, played Wii bowling and golf, and generally had a blast. We hung around in big and little groups and just talked and talked.
This weekend, I've worked out plenty, ate plenty, drank plenty, and had plenty of fun. The people at the Summits are the best, and it's really like going to a holiday at the family's house or something. It's like we've known each other forever. It's a sad thing as each person or two says their goodbye and heads to the airport, alone, in pairs, or in little groups.
Tomorrow morning, its the final three of us. Chris (Kuri), Shannon (Shannonb), and me, meeting up with JP and Galya (who's staying and working with JP for the next two months) to get in a final workout before heading home. It's going to be a good way to end the Summit -- getting some personal kb training from Galya and Chris, both of whom are pretty experienced with the KBs, already. We'll make sure Saturday's training wasn't wasted.
I've got plenty to say, but I'll have to compose my thoughts a bit more. For now, I'm heading down to hang with the rest of the group for the last night.

The workout was great yesterday. Nick joined us, too.
Warmup
KB practice. Chris taught us how to kb snatch and clean without the kb pounding us on the forearm. Once you get it, it's an "aha" moment.
Galya us do a kb breathing ladder. 1 rep, breathe, 2 reps, breathe, up to 10, then back down to 1. The last reps were brutal.
Ring dips, weighted chins, suspended pushups, etc. Fun stuff.

Okay, LD, I bought the Ross book you suggested. It should be here by the end of the week. If it doesn't do it for me, I'll just HAVE to come out to California and track you down *snap*

They are really fun, but my forearm hurts. I have a huge lump from a bad snatch.

Great! I think you'll like it. I'm getting ready to start up a new routine using some Infinite Intensity stuff. I liked it a lot, the last time.

Ouch. Azithromycin usually clears that up. And wear protection from now on, good grief!
As Alan Aragon said in "Girth Control", it's a pubic health issue.
